AMERICA'S OWN WORST ENEMY

Although the drive-by media won't report the news, the foreign press recognizes just how radical Obama really is. The Telegraph:

His speech in Strasbourg went further than any United States president in history in criticising his own country's action while standing on foreign soil. But he sought to use the comments, which amount to a mea culpa for recent American foreign policy, as leverage to alter European views of America and secure more troops for the war in Afghanistan.

Well, we know how that worked; it didn't. Nobody wants to back a weak horse, and you can't expect your allies to jump on board an endeavor you've just trashed.

Obama is an idiot. More from the Telegraph's report:

Addressing a crowd of some 2,000 mainly students from France and Germany, Mr Obama said: "In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.

"Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."

Of course his audience was mainly students. That figures. But what does he mean by Europe's leading role in the world? Europe plays almost no role in leading the world. They don't even have the gumption to defend themselves. They utterly failed to take the lead in the Balkans, in the Middle East, in Africa, or anywhere else.

Obama is a sycophantic flatterer, a born appeaser, who thinks that the only way to accomplish anything is to find out whose ass to kiss and before whom to bow down. The results of his spineless appeasement will be awful to contemplate.
